It took me a week to recover from Mum's cooking. Shocking!!

Apart from seeing my parents, we went down south to view the Cow Parade. 85 lifesize cows (fibreglass) are scattered from Augusta - Margaret River - Yallingup - Dunsborough - Busselton. They are painted and decorated in whatever the artist chose. This is a charity event running until July and at the end all the cows are sold. Some cows are by local schools, others by local artists, and some by famous artists such as Ken Done. It was fun doing the trail and taking lots of photos.

Just the sort of event you'd expect to see me at really...I "Moo"ed for them

Sorry have not posted much, I am in San Francisco at present, not able to cycle. I have gone to the gym hotel.Weight 68km. still to much, once I return to Oz progress will be made.Keep up the good work girls.

My knee is annoying. Sometimes the tape makes it all better, sometimes the tape doesn't get in the right place so makes no difference. I know know how to tape it myself so I can change it to find the sweet spot. Because of it however, I've had to take it easy. Very frustrating. It is improving though, but I'm not yet confident to try to run on it yet.

My knee is improving. I've had 2 days this week without it taped. Although it felt ok walking in a straight line, I didn't want to push things too hard and ride too. So that removed much of my exercise for the week unfortunately. I'm hoping to get back to some very light running in about 2 weeks (but don't tell my physio!!). I'm very happy it's getting back to feeling normal, but I'm nicely taped for a weekend of paddling and riding.

I better start making myself accountable.I donâ€™t even know when I last logged on to this.Today my weight was high 69.1km gross, Joined weightwatchers on line again and I hope I stick to it this time. goal weight 62kg

I hurt my knee last sunday walking Daphne the dumb-arse dog at a Dane club walk. It's like walking a firework that keeps exploding!! Back to the physio and keep doing my exercises (I've been slack with them this week as I was sad from hurting it again) and being gentle with it. I wish it would get better soon.

2xDanes actually. If I tried to ride either of them, they would just lie down and go to sleep. Common misconception about big dogs - they are lazy and don't need much exercise at all. They sleep whenever they have an opportunity (about 21 hours per day). Imagine getting them to actually work for their dinner!!

Knee is definitely on the improve. Physio said I could try a light jog with it taped this week...bit I didn't count on getting a silly coldy thing. Anyway, I've lost weight and managed to get below the 80kg mark. I really want to lose another 5kg before mid-August (organisational conference to attend so I need to look my best ).
